HOW HE WAS TRAPPED.
PARIS, France, April %, 1857
The arrest of NJ. Schnaebeles has pro-
duced profound sensation and it is
feared may lead to unfortunate results.
LIE Paris calls it another provocatiOn,
and asks if Bismarck is seeking casus
beln. The Germans requested Selma
eble to set up one of the posts which
mark the frontier line. The Commits
sary crossed the boundary and adj
vanced few yards on German soil
when he was seized by German police
agents who were disguised in gray
blOuses. He knocked the agents down
and escaped back to French territory,
but he was again seized, handcuffed
and sent to Metz, where he was placed
in the prison in which accused persons
are confined before trial. The warrant
for the arrest emanated from the Pub
lie Prosecutor at Metz, who acted I'M
der instructions from Strasburg. The
French Procurator at Nancy has gone
to Champigney to inquire into the af-
fair. Most of the Paris evening papers
make no comment on this incident.
